Wow...impressive police work...lol...who would have thought he would do this to hide.

I just looked up this mans record. There is no way in hell he should have ever been let out in the first place. Our system is seriously flawed.

I probably just wanted to get so he could go get in line for the LCD TV's at Best Buy. Must be he has HD in his cell.

So he is convicted of 2nd degree murder and min sentence is 15 years and he is out in 4.

That can't be it. I'm sure his cell already a an LCD TV.

That's what I was wondering.

It says he was sentenced to a minimum of 15, maximum of 40 for his 2nd degree murder conviction.
He was sentenced in 2002 and let out in 2006.

Something is very wrong with that.

He must have been given credit for time served, because it looks like he's been in prison for the other offenses since the early 90's.

he was let out because his conviction was over turned due to the fact of being under age and without lawyer and or parent when questioned he made case law from what I hear and thats how he got out .

Be your own law! Our legal system is broken.

You be the judge but God judges you. See, a perfect circle.

But for that particular charge on his offender webpage, it says "Offender Discharge." To me that implies release after sentence served. You'd think if it was overturned on appeal, then it would say "Order Terminated" or something similar. Who knows.

The wording for each "Discharge Reason" is very confusing to say the least.
